Convair Super-NEXUS & Saturn V 1/700 Scale Model Kit Super-Booster Collection #1

Convair Super-NEXUS & Saturn V 1/700 Scale Model Kit Super-Booster Collection #1:

The first non-military booster to be designed for the U.S. manned space program, the mighty Saturn V was designed specifically to carry American astronauts to the moon. Standing 363 feet tall, it was the largest and most powerful rocket ever built when it first launched on November 9, 1967.

But even before the Saturn V was built, America’s aerospace engineers were hard at work designing future generations of “super-boosters” that would carry much larger payloads into orbit, to the moon, and beyond. One of the largest conceived was Convair’s Super-NEXUS, a partly reusable SSTO vehicle capable of carrying up to 2 million pounds of payload. (Compared to just 90,000 pounds for the Saturn V.) It was to have stood 401 feet tall with and be 160 feet wide, compared to just 33 feet for the Saturn V.)
